I issued a mkraid /dev/md0 with a mdtab set up for a simple mirror. What do I need to do to keep the mirror active upon reboots. It seems to forget about it. Also probably related to this, I cannot mount /dev/md0 upon bootup. I would appreciate any help.

Hi there! I'm curious about some of the issues relating to RAID performance under linux. I don't have a hardware or device driver kind of background though, so I have a couple of questions for y'all... the meat of this stuff really isn't explained in the HOWTO's. I've worked with computers for
